My old friend

[Red Frame is moving around the deck. Not the hangar - it needs a lot of space, to swing that oversized sword around!

But look, this time something is different. Gerbera Straight II is held only in Astray's right hand. The left arm's Powered upgrade is absent, showing the normal not-lifting Red Frame arm normally hidden underneath.]

Shaky... very shaky. Looks like I need both arms to wield it in battle with any effect.

But how will I make a replacement on such a short notice? Either way, the fight for Earth's sake is not over yet. You just refuse to give up, Red Frame, don't you?

I feel the same way.

[Lowe leaves the cockpit and will just lie down on the deck, hands behind his head, looking at the sky, his mobile suit, White Chalcie around him.]

It's been a long time, huh.

"I guess I shouldn't be questioning. By the way, what's with Red Frame?"

[space_macgyver]

The Powered Frame broke - on the left arm at least. I don't think I can repair it any time soon.

Some advice from Nils

"That's terrible," Bernie looks up, seeing the Gerbera. He frowned.

"I dunno Lowe. Maybe you can to make it smaller?" Bernie smiled, "Not as small as the original. Or maybe, get two swords?"

[space_macgyver]

Hey now, I still have Gerbera Straight - it's not that Red Frame is unarmed!

But good, keep giving me ideas. I need upgrades, if not now then for the future.

"Well geez, what else is there to upgrade? Isn't the Red Frame good as it is at full strength?"

[space_macgyver]

For a real engineer, there's no such thing as "good enough"! You always look out for things to improve.

Bernie liked his personality.

"You're so right. So many years, so many changes." He looks at Red Frame. "Still, I'm stumped. Unless you want "Cannon Red Astray."

[space_macgyver]

Long range combat isn't my style. I prefer it close and personnal!

Still, I need to consider what the next upgrade's going to be about. More arms to hold swords, maybe?

Date Masamune approves

"Sounds good to me. My new Zaku has sub-arms. Hopefully it won't hinder the Red Frame too much."
